Abstract

[Upon reaching the realm of Quantity, a word of comfort is in order for readers suffering from “math anxiety.” Such readers have nothing to fear from Hegel. With the exception of some notorious (and quite extraneous) remarks on calculus, nothing in his analysis extends beyond rudimentary algebra, knowledge of which I will not presuppose. Hegel was no great champion of mathematics – though his education in it was formidable.1 In fact, he had contempt for its spiritual worth.2 Nevertheless, Quantity enjoys an important role in the SL. In this fourth chapter,3 Hegel equates Pure Quantity with time, space and the ego – deeply metaphysical ideas.]
